1912 Midland Metal Spinners was founded by

George Cadman, who was then 65 years old, as

a metal holloware manufacturing company, in St.

Mark’s Street, Wolverhampton. They later moved

into the Tower and Fort Works in Pelham Street,

which ultimately gave rise to the famous Tower

brand name.

1937 Tower exhibited some of their latest holloware

designs at the British Industries Fair. As you can

see from the original poster, their stand No. A410

must have been a great sight as it promoted their

“Beautiful, inexpensive, untarnishable Plate, at

prices all can afford to pay”.

1961 Tower became one of the largest

manufacturers of aluminium holloware, electric

kettles, tea pots and other household articles with

over 1,000 employees.

1974 Russell Hobbs took ownership of the

expanding Tower brand.

3USINGYOURAPPLIANCE

Beforerstuse:

1. Pour a teaspoon of vegetable oil onto the

non-stick coated plates.

2. Wipe over the plates with an absorbent

kitchen towel and then wipe off any excess

oil.

Usingyourappliance:

1. Connect to your electrical supply and the

red indicator lamp will switch on to show

that the appliance is pre-heating.

2. Close the lid while the pre-heating occurs.

During this time prepare your sandwich

ingredients.

3. The appliance is ready for use once the

green indicator illuminates. This will take

approximately 5 minutes.

Note: Initially, the appliance may release a slight

harmless odour and smoke.

This is a normal occurrence caused by the initial

heating of the heating elements and should not

re-occur.

Preparingsandwiches:

1. Butter the bread on the outer surfaces and

place desired llings within.

2. Lift safety catch and open the sandwich

maker. Place sandwiches on the heating

plates.

3. Close the casing to ensure that the

sandwich is placed evenly.

4. Lock the safety catch.

5. Normal cooking times will be 3-6 minutes

for each sandwich. The red light will turn

on and off, as the thermostat keeps the

sandwich maker at the proper baking

temperature.

CAUTION: The appliance is not to be operated

in the open position.

CAUTION: The cooking surface is hot; handle

with care.

Servingyoursandwiches:

1. Remove the sandwiches from the heating

plates with a plastic or wooden spatula.

2. Be careful with your sandwiches, the llings

will be quite hot.

3. Allow to cool for a few minutes before

enjoying.

Tips:

• Always preheat your sandwich maker fully.

• Ensure the lid of the sandwich maker is

down whilst preheating.

• Butter, margarine and olive oil can all be

used to coat the outside of your bread.

• Light/Low fat versions of margarines are

not recommended as they do not withstand

heat.

• Fillings: Try to use canned or pre-cooked

fruit as fresh fruit may give off excessive

juices when heated. Be careful when biting

into toasted sandwiches containing llings

such as cheese and tomato or jam as

they retain heat and can burn if eaten too

quickly.

• Processed cheeses tend to ‘run’ under

higher temperatures.

• Pat moist ingredients (such as sliced

tomatoes and fruits) dry before adding to

your sandwich.

• Allow hot sandwiches to rest for 2 -3

minutes after removing them from the

sandwich maker. This helps the llings cool

slightly and means they will run less.

• Processed cheeses tend to ‘run’ under

higher temperatures.

• Pat moist ingredients (such as sliced

tomatoes and fruits) dry before adding to

your sandwich.

• Allow hot sandwiches to rest for 2 -3

minutes after removing them from the

sandwich maker. This helps the llings cool

slightly and means they will run less.

5TROUBLESHOOTING&FAQ’S

Questions Answers

Do the indicator

lights show when my

sandwich is done?

No. The indicator lights only indicate power, and that the sandwich maker

has reached the correct temperature. Ensure you do not leave the sand

wich maker during use.

How long will it take

to make a toasted

sandwich?

We recommend toasting your sandwiches for around ve minutes.

Generally the sandwiches will be ready approximately 3 – 6 minutes after

adding them to the sandwich maker, depending on your preference.

Why are my llings

spilling over during

cooking?

You may have added too many llings to your sandwiches. Ensure that

no llings are ‘overowing’ when you add the sandwich to the Sandwich

Maker. Fillings such as cheese and jam reach very high temperatures when

heated and can spill over.
